The Mad Scene

The Mad Scene is an indie pop band originally known as Monsterland that was mainly active in the early- to mid-nineties. New Zealander Hamish Kilgour (of The Clean and Bailter Space) and New Yorker Lisa Siegel (spelled "Seagul" on some releases) could be considered the core members. The band was founded in 1990 in Auckland, New Zealand as Monsterland with Kilgour, Siegel, and Danny Manetto. Kilgour and Siegel moved to continue the band in NYC in 1991, but had to change their name because there was already a NY band of that name.
